Important Tips Before You Reset

      • Power Up: Make sure your G Cloud has at least 50% battery life before doing a factory reset. If you’re using the Settings app method, you can leave it plugged in during the reset.

      • Back Up Your Data! Remember, a factory reset wipes everything! Back up any important files, saves, or settings before you hit that reset button.
